Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 991: Found Ancient Treasure

Half a shichen passed...

Ahhh!

"Your clan's food is really delicious. Every dish is very pleasing to me!"

They spent half a shichen eating together. That was because Zheng-Fu ordered more food and ate more and more before he was full.

"Ha ha ha! Thank you, Little Comrade, for the compliment. I'm very pleased. Our Liang-Po Clan is good at cooking. But we're best at building!" The elder said after he laughed in satisfaction. He knew that Zheng-Fu did not pretend to eat a lot to please them. But Zheng-Fu ate with earnestness. The elder was looking for an opportunity to say that his Liang-Po Clan was good at creating artifacts, so he took advantage of Zheng-Fu's admiration for the clan's food.

Really!?

"Are you all that good at building?" Zheng-Fu turned to look at the elder with a serious expression. But in reality, he knew that the elder was not lying.

"Certain! Our clan has been a clan of builders since the times of our ancestors. It's not just about building vehicles. We can even forge weapons and armor!" Liang-Pou-San interrupted, displeased at Zheng-Fu's tone.

Xiao-San!

"What nonsense are you talking about? That was in the past. Now our clan doesn't have that kind of greatness left. Because many plans for important inventions have been stolen, and some have disappeared. So, now our clan is not as great as before!" The clan leader hurriedly rebuked his youngest son and informed Zheng-Fu of the clan's current situation.

Father!!!

His sons exclaimed in unison. They never thought their father would say such things to outsiders. Because he usually forbade them from speaking. But today, he said it himself.

Sigh!

"I'll be honest, Little Comrade! Our Liang-Po Clan is now in crisis. We hardly had any valuables left. And we also have many debts that we must repay. The important thing is my two sons' bet between our clan and the Lei-Gou Clan. If Liang-Po Clan couldn't build the flying craft on time, Liang-Po Clan must become a part of Lei-Gou Clan!" Liang-Pou-Zhong explained everything that had happened without hiding it because he wanted Zheng-Fu to know that he was sincere and to make him sympathize with his clan.

"That is an issue between your clan and the Lei-Gou Clan. I cannot interfere. And I came today to exchange an airship's plan with you," Zheng-Fu knew what the middle-aged man wanted. But he did not want to get involved in conflicts between other clans. So, he chose to ignore it and spoke about the exchange with a calm face.

Hah!

As Zheng-Fu finished his sentence, all of Liang-Po Clan's men instantly turned pale with despair. This was the matter that worried them the most. Because they could not find anything to exchange, they hoped that Zheng-Fu would sympathize with their crisis and make another offer after their clan leader opened his mind.

"Zheng-Fu!"

Mie-Xiang-Qi seemed to want to say something. But when she saw Zheng-Fu's serious expression and eyes, she swallowed her words and continued to remain silent.

"I don't have much time. If you don't want to trade with me. I must excuse myself!" Zheng-Fu tried to pressure the other party with time. Because he was waiting for the Liang-Po Clan's people to mention their treasure chamber. His senses had confirmed that the Liang-Po Clan really had an ancient treasure. But he could not suggest that he wanted to go look at their treasure chamber.

Ah!

"Little Comrade, is there anything else that you want? Now all of our valuables have been sold. All that was left were some old, useless items in our clan's treasure chamber. If you're interested, you can go take a look. In case there is anything you like and can exchange with your plan, we'd be happy to give it all to you!"

The elder remembered what Liang-Pou-San had said. He said that Zheng-Fu seemed interested in his clan's treasure chamber. The elder then offered to take Zheng-Fu down to have a look. However, all the valuables had already been sold. It would not be a bad idea to take Zheng-Fu to see.

"Father!"

"Grandpa!"

The clan leader and his two sons exclaimed at the same time. Because the three of them never thought that the elder would allow this.

"I've thought about it well. At least, if there is something Little Comrade is interested in and could be used to exchange for the plan, it would be worth it, right? Or do you all have other ideas?" Actually, the elder wanted to say, "Isn't that what you all have in mind as well?" But he could not say that directly.

Erm!

"If Father thinks like that. It's up to you!" the clan leader replied calmly. He could not express how glad he was that his father had found such a solution.

"We completely agree!!!"

However, his two sons did not hold back any expression. They immediately expressed their willing consent. Because they knew that Zheng-Fu was interested in their treasure chamber from the beginning. Perhaps taking Zheng-Fu down to the treasure chamber would allow him to find the items he wanted and allow them to trade for a plan to build a flying craft.

Umm!

"Since everyone agrees, then it's upon Little Comrade. Are you interested in going to look at the old treasures in our clan's treasure chamber?" The elder nodded lightly before turning and asking Zheng-Fu with a serious face.

"Whatever! Your clan's treasure chamber is your right to allow anyone to enter. And if you want to take me to see, I'll go down too. Maybe I'll find what I want like you said!" Zheng-Fu wanted to shout out loud in joy. But he could not do it. He could only put on a serious expression and express that he understood their wishes.

"Then let's go downstairs. I'll lead you myself!" said the elder.

Seeing Zheng-Fu agree, he and the other three people in the clan were relieved. Because they were afraid that Zheng-Fu would reject them.

"All of you, go. Fei-Yue and I will be waiting here!" Mie-Xiang-Qi said. She did not want to get involved in anything. She was an important senior master of the Sacred Heavenly Star Divine Sect. If anyone saw her entering Liang-Po Clan's treasure chamber, it would not look good.

"If so, I'll let someone arrange a room for you," said the elder. He immediately understood her intentions and admired her in his heart. He then summoned a maid to take Mie-Xiang-Qi and Fei-Yue to Liang-Po Clan's best guest quarter.

Zheng-Fu did not say anything. He knew that Mie-Xiang-Qi had already made up her mind. Besides, this matter was his own business and had nothing to do with her.

Fifteen minutes passed...

"Here is our clan's treasure chamber!" Liang-Pou-San said as they arrived in front of a large door in Liang-Po Clan's basement.

Umm!

"Three layers of the sealed spell, four layers of the defensive spell, and seven layers of the attack spell. It's considered to be a door with fairly strong protection. If people below the most advanced Deity Soul stage think of breaking in without solving those spells first, they'll probably be seriously injured or even killed!"

Ah!

Zheng-Fu mused as he saw the spell characters engraved on the large door. And that made the four people of Liang-Po Clan turn to look at him in shock. Before the clan leader unlocked the door to reveal a large hall inside.

Click!

Groooan!!!

"You also have any knowledge of spells?" The elder couldn't help but ask.

"I know quite a bit." Zheng-Fu did not say that he knew and could solve these fourteen spells with ease. Because he knew that the four of them would not believe him anyway.

Umm!

Just a little bit!

The two young men muttered.

"Let's go inside so it won't waste Little Comrade's time!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu did not want to say much, the elder immediately changed the subject and led the way into the treasure chamber.

"Your treasure chamber looks quite empty. It's as if it were built as a refuge instead of a treasure chamber!" Zheng-Fu said in a teasing tone. After he had walked inside for a while, and saw that there was hardly anything left inside.

Sigh!

"Just like I told you before!" Liang-Pou-Du said in a sad tone. He knew that it was a shame that a clan as big as the Liang-Po Clan fell into such hardship.

"Our Liang-Po Clan must become great again. If we get the flying craft building plan, we can build it!" Others might look sad, but Liang-Pou-San looked hopeful and confident.

"That depends on whether or not within this treasure chamber there are items that pique my interest!" Zheng-Fu smiled at the corner of his mouth as he answered Liang-Pou-San.

"Anyway, it's..."

"You stop talking, Xiao-San!"

"Yes, sir, Father!"

'I can feel the aura of ancient treasure in this chamber. But why can't I find it? Or does it have its consciousness and can hide from my specific inspection?' Zheng-Fu thought. He did not understand and was a little annoyed that the ancient treasure's aura always hid itself from him whenever he sensed it. And then its aura often spread throughout the chamber until he could not catch it.

"Over there, sir, Master! It's hiding behind that old wooden shelf!"

Hah!?

Jin-Tian, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up and pointed to an old, empty wooden shelf in front of an ordinary dirt wall. And instantly, everyone turned to look at him at the same time. Except for Zheng-Fu, who turned to follow Jin-Tian's finger.

Umm!

"No wonder I haven't been able to sense it. It's actually because of these spells!" said Zheng-Fu with a slight nod. Since Jin-Tian had given him the position, he saw the spells engraved on the dirt wall.

"Elder Liang-Pou-Si, may I release those spells and take out the item behind the dirt wall?" Zheng-Fu turned to the elder for permission.

"You can do as you see fit, Little Comrade!" The elder also wanted to know what was hidden there. Because he had entered this treasure chamber countless times and never knew it existed before.

Umm!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Whooooosh!!!
